SS #4 Posted November 21, 2003 Prices always go up to outragous amounts around the hollidays. Actually, I've found that a good time to get some really great deals is the week right before Christmas. I'm guessing this is because it's too late for anyone to bid on a gift for someone else and that most people have blown their extra money on presents for other people so there's little left to spend on collectables for themselves.

bjk7382 #5 Posted November 21, 2003 Another good time to get stuff is after big things happen (the start of the war, 9/11, ect...) people always stop buying around those times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #6 Posted November 21, 2003 There are a lot of people who do not have the knowledge of many members of this community who have seen the 2600 on a few "remember when" shows and buy these systems as presents, thinking that they'd make great gifts (and they're usually right in that respect).
